• Leelanau County Faring Better Than Its Neighbors Amidst Historic Rainfall, Flooding (leelanauticker.com) — Standing water is still reported over Seven Pines Drive near Northport, as Leelanau County weathers historic rain and flooding better than some neighboring counties but remains on edge for more storms. Emergency officials describe high water near Little Traverse Lake, washed-out access at Veronica Valley Park, and a local disaster declaration that could help unlock state or even federal recovery aid if conditions worsen.
